Giovanni Gabrieli wrote his lustrous brass ‘symphonies’ for St Mark’s, Venice in the late 1500s, and they deserve a big, generous acoustic to do them full justice. The rafters of St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne will resound with the glories of Gabrieli when trombonist Michael Mulcahy of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra lets loose with ANAM’s brass musicians. Crowning the evening is a sensational version of Nielsen’s Third Symphony featuring organist Calvin Bowman, and a stunning brass and percussion arrangement of Sibelius' Finlandia, a symbol of Finnish nationalism.
